High prescription drug costs are a problem for the United Kingdom as they are in the United States. Our working paper, co-produced with the organizations Just Treatment and Global Justice Now, identifies how the key principles of public ownership can apply in the UK's pharmaceutical sector. It also sets out a vision of what democratic participation, engagement, and transparency would look like.

Meanwhile, in the United States the fight for a pharmaceutical public option escalates this week as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced her own plan for lowering drug prices. Next System Project director Dana Brown looks at the bill and concludes that democratically owned pharmaceutical operations are the most important missing element.

The top five firms in the world in terms of market capitalization—Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft—collectively have outsize power over the functioning of the global economy. Next System Project fellow Dan Hind argues in his latest report, copublished with Common Wealth, that reasserting the primacy of democracy over private power requires reckoning with these leading firms and with the digital sector more generally. He proposes a "public option" for the digital sphere in the UK, a British Digital Cooperative that would act as a space for egalitarian collaboration as well as rapid technological innovation.<br>
